I've cook chicken for years in so many different ways. I am so glad that I checked on-line, there is something good to be said about returning to the basics; THANKS, & The Cooked chickens in the Deli- are awesome, and excellent time savers… But there is nothing better than HOME-COOKED…EVERYONE HAVE AN EXCELLENT DINNER!!!

Whole chickens can go on sale for significantly cheaper, also compare the weight of the chickens. Last, sometimes people have allergies, intolerances, or just plain don't like the seasoning mix used to season some rotisserie chickens.
Also roasting a chicken is a great confidence builder for those just learning to cook.

This looks yummy…,but I have a question for anyone out there. I just got back from the grocery store and was looking at the whole chickens – the smallest, least expensive one I could find was $5.78. Then I went to the deli and saw the price on their whole, already roasted chickens…$5.00. Any reason why I should go to the trouble and clean-up of roasting my own rather than opting for the already roasted variety? Thanks!

My mouth is salivating!

One method I’ve found to penny pinch is to avoid supermarkets.

At supermarkets, you can get around 5 onions for £1. At the markets down in Tooting you can get a big sack (that won’t fit in a rucksack). The herbs and spices are also less than half the price.

(I live in the UK, and don’t know if this tip works in the US).

I agree Heather, whole chicken is the way to go easy on your wallet. Curious, how can you tell which chicken has over 5% sodium solution injected in it? Is there a lot of chicken in the market as such? Do you have any brand names I should know of?

Thank you so much for posting this. I am making my first roasted chicken with potatoes and carrots and this it the best advice I have found that is simple and looks delicious. I’m not much of a cook. I enjoy baking instead. Cant wait to try this out. But nervous at the same time : ).
